Pirata e Tesouro

Ferrugem's song 'Pirata e Tesouro' delves into the profound and sacred nature of true love, contrasting it with superficial relationships. The lyrics emphasize that genuine love requires constant effort, passion, and renewal. Ferrugem warns against confusing love with mere habituation, stressing that love must be vibrant and continuously nurtured to thrive. This message is encapsulated in the lines, 'Amar é tão sagrado pra quem sabe amar / Jamais confunda amor com se acostumar,' which translate to 'Loving is so sacred for those who know how to love / Never confuse love with getting used to it.'

The song critiques the hypocrisy of relationships that appear perfect on the surface but lack genuine connection. Ferrugem points out the emptiness of couples who put on a facade of love, only to live separate lives behind closed doors. This is poignantly illustrated in the verse, 'Hipocrisia é pintar amor só de fachada / Quando chega em casa, cada um vai pro seu lado,' meaning 'Hypocrisy is painting love just as a facade / When they get home, each goes to their own side.' The song contrasts these hollow relationships with those that are deeply intimate and private, suggesting that true love doesn't need to be flaunted to be real.

Ferrugem also explores the idea of enduring love, symbolized by the 'boda de prata' (silver wedding anniversary) and 'boda de ouro' (golden wedding anniversary). He acknowledges that while some loves are fleeting like pirates, others are treasures meant to last a lifetime. The chorus reinforces this dichotomy, 'Tem amor que é pirata, tem amor que é tesouro,' which means 'There is love that is a pirate, there is love that is a treasure.' The song ultimately celebrates the joy and fulfillment that come from a love that endures through both good times and adversity, highlighting the importance of authenticity and commitment in relationships.
